Excise Duty The finished goods at Sohna Plant ( Material Division ), Gurgaon is considered as raw material for the Company because the same is used for manufacturing gaskets at Faridabad and other plants. Accordingly the excise duty liability on excisable goods manufactured at Sohna, but pending removal / clearance from the factory brmises as at 31.03.2015, estimated at Rs.3,35,731 ( Previous year Rs.4,16,918) is not accounted for. If the said liability would have been accounted, it would have resulted in a higher charge of excise duty with corresponding adjustment of liability and a higher inventory by Rs.3,35,731 ( Previous year Rs.4,16,918). However, this would have no effect on the net profit of the Company for the accounting year or on the net current assets as at 31.03.2015. 4. Balance with Central Excise & Other Authorities includes H80 lacs deposited by the company as advance excise duty in view of investigation by the excise department, objecting excise exemption on some of the products sold from Sitarganj Plant. The matter is still to be decided. 5. The Company has not received information from vendors regarding their status under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 and hence disclosure relating to amounts unpaid as at the year end together with interest paid/payable under this Act have not been given. 6. Small Industries Development Bank of India ( SIDBI ) has sanctioned a limit of H600 lacs for discounting hundies of Micro, Small and Medium enterprises supplying materials to the company . This facility is secured by way of second pari - passu charge in favour of SIDBI on all the current assets of the Company including stock, raw material, stock in process, finished & semi finished goods, consumable stores, etc. both brsent and future and is further secured by personal guarantee of two directors. The hundies accepted by the Company and outstanding balance as at 31st March, 2015 amounted to Rs. NIL ( Previous Year Rs.2,69,53,396). 8. Segment Reporting a) Primary Segment : The Company's operations comprise of only one segments viz , "Auto Components & Parts" . b) Secondary Segment : The Company caters to the needs of the Indian as well as foreign market. The risk and returns vary from country to country and export to none of the countries exceeds 10% of the sales turnover of the Company. Hence it is not reportable. 9. Pursuant to enactment of the Companies Act, 2013, during the year ended March 31, 2015, the company has applied useful lives of tangible fixed assets as brscribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 except for certain class of assets where different useful life is taken based on independent technical evaluation, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset and the operating conditions surrounding the use of the asset etc. Accordingly the debrciation has been provided by debrciating the carrying value of the asset (Net of residual value of 5%) over the revised/remaining life of individual assets. Had the company continued with the brviously assessed useful lives, charge for debrciation for the year ended 31st March 2015 would have been higher by Rs.94.36 Lacs. 10. The Company is entitled for Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) Credit amounting to Rs.7,40,25,582 (Previous Year Rs.8,03,30,447) to be adjusted against company's future normal tax liabilities as per provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961. The management of the Company, based on the future projections, is of the opinion that the entire MAT credit will be utilised and therefore, no provisioning has been made. 11. Previous year figures have been regrouped/rearranged wherever considered necessary. |
